Nordic Pure 12x24x1PM12C-24 Merv 12 Carbon Filter 24 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x24x1PM12C-24 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter with an activated carbon layer, designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. The dual-material construction fuses MERV-rated filtration media with a carbon layer, reducing flow restriction while adding 33% more surface area compared to standard pleated designs. This configuration captures fine particulate matter while simultaneously adsorbing odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The filter uses permanently electrostatically charged media to attract and hold airborne particles. The frame is built from heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board, and a metal mesh support grid is bonded to the pleats to maintain structural integrity under airflow. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a routine maintenance replacement.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. Applications include homes with pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, or occupants sensitive to VOCs and household odors. The activated carbon layer targets smoke particles, lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, allergens, bacteria, and mold spores. The antimicrobial filter media inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold on the filter surface. This 24-pack format supports a full year or more of regular filter changes at the recommended 30-to-90-day replacement interval, depending on household conditions.

• Activated carbon layer adsorbs VOCs, smoke odors, and household gases without significantly restricting airflow
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a particle magnet for improved capture efficiency
• Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic filter media resists bacterial and mold growth on the filter surface
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh pleat support for structural durability
• Made in the USA; sold in a 24-pack for extended maintenance supply

Compatibility

Designed as a nominal 12x24x1 inch replacement filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems that accept a 1-inch pleated filter. Actual dimensions are 11.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches; verify the actual slot or rack dimensions before installing, as nominal and actual sizes differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Power down or set the thermostat to off before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from being drawn through the system during the swap. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the new filter so the arrow points toward the blower, not the return-air side. Measure the actual filter slot dimensions before ordering to confirm the 11.5 x 23.5 x 0.75-inch actual size fits the equipment. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain trapped particulate, and log the replacement date to maintain the 30-to-90-day change interval.
